Web search that has directions in chinese for stores and markets

Ottontarion

Does anyone know of a good web site designed for mobiles that I can use to search for shops, stores, markets, etc.. and has addresses written in Chinese that I can show a taxi driver?

Big request I know :D

I am currently using localnoodles.com to search for stores but that doesn't display well on my phone and it really doesn't help much with my need to show directions to taxi drivers :P

Google maps are great for me, but not so great for showing taxi drivers  :(

I think I found one that matched my criteria - the same one I used when visiting Beijing.

I have tried this with a few more basic stores and it worked :p

The only issue is that its not so comprehensive but it has a search, directions in Chinese and I can use it on my cell.

I think the best solution is using a mobile browser. UC browser :
ucweb9.com/
Select one uc browser according to your mobile.
or
Opera mini browser.

I really like the send to mobile phone option from mobilenative.com especially the English and Chinese directions.
